I saw no false accusation to this effect. 

Perhaps it was closer to Innuendo.

Is biblical knowledge intellectual? Or is it more of a moral guide in Spirituality? Its full of knowledge but if knowledge is intellectualism than a plumber is an intellectual. I dont know, just pondering it.

 

It is how one understands and applies ones biblical knowledge that matters.

 

In forums often a bible verse is quoted without regard to context an example, one poster believed the bible supports us living a sinless live and quoted the passage where a man claimed to have kept the 10c all his life.

He ignored the facts that the man only referred to the last 6 commandments and when Jesus referred to the first 4 he walked away.

The point is this guy knows the bible but cannot apply it .

I believe the Spirit teaches us, and convicts us of sin which leads to repentance. Perhaps this man was not following the Spirit at all. I don't know but is the Spirit intellectual? Or maybe i should also ask if the bible is an intellectual writing? If you consider examining oneself for flaws as intellectual then i might agree. I once heard a guy say that being highly educated doesn't make you an intellectual. A doctor for example is not an intellectual necessarily. If that's true, then what exactly is an intellectual and is the Spirit intellectual?

 Seems Israel at one time believed they could and look what happened lol. How would one be obedient? His word I know what He was talking about at the time yet.. allot more now "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." 

Christ came, age of grace.. I guess if its something were doing share away

I’ve enjoyed reading all the comments in this thread, @R. Hartono.  :)  I believe God has a place for each of us in His kingdom, and because He is wise, He plans the work he wants us to to.  All we have to do is wake up each morning expecting opportunities to honor and bring glory Him.  

Ephesians 2:10

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Matthew 5:16

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Psalm 90:17

17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.

Thank you for answering my question and not accusing me of degrading others.

You weren't degrading, just trying to make a comparison, which most understood.

(should have said a 'politician':)

Intellectual; a person possessing a highly 'developed ' intellect.

An intellectual is a person who engages in critical thinking, research, and reflection to advance discussions of academic subjects. An Academic. (a few here on forum)


"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding"

I'm not sure, but we have a body, a soul (mind-reasoning-intellect-etc), and a spirit.
The intellect is NOT that spirit. Man has been corrupted at the fall.
The serpent tempted Eve through her pride, a tree to be desired to make one 'wise', she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat. So did Adam, and here we are.
Our spirit hears God's spirit. Not our intellect. Our intellect can get us in trouble.

1 Corinthians 1:27,  "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;"

God's spirit Knows All, and is spiritual. Not intellectual.
God already knows everything. He created the intellectuals.
And plumbers. And carpenters, like me...default_cool2.gif.a550f7b4ac81dc39d87729be4163fc02.gif

In my formative years the term "intellectual" was pejorative if one was academically adept and envied by those who weren't.

pejorative

adj
(of words, expressions, etc) having an unpleasant or disparaging connotation
n
a pejorative word, expression, etc

Yes the spirit teaches us, principally through wiser other Christians.

 

I agree intelligence is no indication of wisdom, truly wise people are humble and teachable.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
